Visitors to Kandos cannot miss the gleaming, solar panels on the roof of the Kandos Rylstone Community Radio building in Angus Ave. At a general meeting, some months ago it was proposed the radio station go solar. With air-conditioning for staff and equipment, transmitters, computers etc, Brent Barlow, President said, “Like everyone, our power bills are going up, but ours are particularly high due to our electrical equipment. The solar panels will help in cutting costs and hopefully will pay for itself soon.” The panels were installed by Matt Stone, ‘Stone Electric’ from Running Stream.
